Video commentary on I Kings 5-7 by Dr. Bob Utley, retired Professor of Hermeneutics (Bible Interpretation). I Kings, along with II Kings, are basically historical narrative with frequent quotes from court records and the prophets. When one compares the three books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, differing types of historical narratives emerge: (1) Samuel is basically biographical. It focuses on the main characters of Samuel, Saul and David; (2) Kings is basically a compilation of: (a) the royal court records; (b) prophetic material (Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah); (3) Chronicles is basically a selective theologically positive presentation of the kings of the United Monarchy and the Kings of Judah. Part of the "You Can Understand the Bible"^TM series. For more of Dr. Utley's Bible study guides, and audio and video sermons and commentaries, go to www.freebiblecommentary.org.
